Sorry, long post but important info: Yesterday I worked my first Carsland Fast Pass shift. It was super early in the morning but it was a wonderful change from my nightly World of Color shifts. It was fun to welcome the guests into the park and see them eager to begin their magical day. While attending to the fast pass line I had a guest ask if I had a pen (which I never do and should do) and I apologized and joked that I was the worst CM ever! She then began to tell the little girls with her that if they get separated to look for someone dressed like me. I then squatted down and showed the girls my name tag and explained that not all of us dress the same so they should look for someone with the same name tag as mine. I also told them to look for the people in the white shirts with red ties and hats and those people are security and could help them. I advised the Mom's to take individual pictures if each child that way they could show security and it would be pictures of how they looked that day in the clothes they are wearing. I also advised the Mom's to write their cell phone numbers on the stomach if each child. The kids weren't old enough to know their numbers but were old enough to show their tummies to give the number. None of us ever want to think about the possibility of being separated from our kids during a fun family outing but it's important that we take the necessary steps to ensure we have a good plan in place just in case. Hopefully this information is helpful.

Great idea! I'm Going to start writing my wife's name and number on me belly - philliprocks

Its really important to talk to your kids about situations like these! We were at the parks on wednesday making line for francis lady bug in bugs land. And there was a little girl screaming from the top of her lungs crying. She def got separated from her family. One of the cm's was trying to talk to her and get a name out of her but she would just scream louder! They called security and bout 10 minutes later her family comes by to get her! Poor thing though she was bout 4 maybe! My daughter saw this and asked me what should i do if i get lost mommy! And i explained to her what to do! - GiGiMouse

Haven't lived there since 98 but grew up there - Disneylanddad702 466.6 #432 3:31PM

Thank you for the tip. The cell number on the tummy is a great idea. When I was little a friend of mine had gotten kidnapped at DL. Parents alerted security and fortunately they found her in a car with some strangers trying to exit the park. They had cut her hair and changed her clothes to make her look like a boy so they wouldn't get caught. DL security caught them anyways. You can never be too safe. Thanks again for the tip. - potatohead25

Disneyland unFORECAST (BETA) is here! Top MouseWaiters giving you the rundown of what's happening at the Disneyland Resort. The unFORECAST now has its own page on the web www.unFORECAST.com

unFORECAST for the week of July 27, 2015Crowd levels have been rising since Disneyland's official birthday on July 17th. Looking back at MouseWait's Historical Crowd Index (available in our new MagicPlan iOS Calendar), this week last year averaged in the high 70s, which is light for summer crowds. When temperatures rise, the crowd does thin out a bit (especially Annual Passholders)--and this week should be a hot one with forecasts in the 90s through Sunday. We feel that the crowd level will be similar to last year (high 70s on the Crowd Index) and the heat will keep some away. To get a real-time look at crowd levels, check the MouseWait app for Crowd Index averages and wait times. - Admin Jul 28, 2015 9:36AM

We have always noticed that Saturdays are better than Sundays! We always come on the weekend and say we want to leave at dinner time on Sunday, but always leave by 11-12 because there are so many people. We love Saturday!! - 1Princess3Princes

I agree. I think it has to do with most passes being blocked - PoohSizedGuy 18.6 #7119 11:53PM

Saturday's rule! One of the perks of a premium pass! - snappy 383.1 #553 7:32AM

I second this. The info is great to have, but it's too long. - 1HitchhikingGhost 239.1 #1420 5:04PM

I was there this week, Tues, Wed.,Thur. Very hot and muggy. Long lines except single rider lines were great. Because we had 3 days we didn't mind waiting in line. It's so fun to people watch while you wait. We had a great time. Can't wait until next time to go back. - Popcorn
